any one like the G4 here?

[krazyatom]

I knew LG G4 was going to be great because I had LG G3 before. I am not sure if all LG models are made in Korea, but usually high end stuff are made in Korea. My LG G3 was in made in Korea. Is G4 also made in Korea? I am may pick up LG G4 or Samsung Galaxy S6.

I can confirm the Verizon Wireless (VS986) G4 is made in Korea. I'm sure most, if not all G4s are as well. It's a great device (which I recommend to all), and Samsung lost me when I found out what the GS6 would comprise of.

I don't like it, I LOVE the G4!

I like mine. But I must reluctantly confess it's starting to make me question it slightly.

I bought my first when Verizon released them. I returned it due to sometimes running hot, and battery life concerns.

I bought a replacement almost 2 weeks ago. I am having better luck this time, but honestly that's probably because I have fewer apps installed at the moment. But my 14 days is almost up, and this one has shown 2 concerns so far:

- Twice now I have been unable to hear anything on a call (even using Visual Voicemail) when using the phone's "earpiece" speaker. But when I switched it on Bluetooth, or speakerphone, it was fine, even without hanging up the call. Sometimes I just heard a crackling from the earpiece. I rebooted the phone when I noticed this the second time, and then it started working properly again. It's a PHONE, so this is disconcerting. I could be forced to put a call on speakerphone (not always an option) to simply take an incoming call. I suspect this is a software thing, as a reboot fixed it, but really, this simply should not happen.

- My vibrate feature has started making a funny noise/feel sometimes when it runs. This is kind of minor, I know. But I use it for keyboard feedback, so it runs often, and I want to keep the phone for 2 years. My Galaxy S3 is 2.5 years old and never felt weird/different over time. In a way, this concerns me more than the speaker, as it is obviously a hardware thing, and the phone is basically still new. I could hope it doesn't get worse, and at least have the warranty for support, but then I'd probably get a refurb, and a replacement might already have an OTA, making root tougher.

So now I have to decide if I want to keep it, or exchange it, with only 1 day left to evaluate the replacement. Or return it *again*, and buy a 3rd (!) one, resetting my 14-day return period. Stubbornness is kicking in slightly, I *want* to make this work, as the G4 is the closest fit for my phone requirements. Disappointed, as I thought this 2nd one was a good one.

Hey whatever phone is best for your needs. I have had the s6e and g4 and am now back to using the note 4.

I would love to get this phone!
But I am waiting for 2 things:
-Root for all
-Touchscreen fix

On my first week with my new Verizon G4. No problems with heat, or touchscreen (knocking on wood) - double tap On, knock code unlock, swiping, sensitivity, all seem fine. This is my first Smart phone, so I have nothing to compare it to, and definitely not a power user, to be fair. Phone manufacture date is early June.

I am waiting for the price to go down, that Root hits US models so we get custom roms (G4 here are EMEA models rootable but no custom roms) and that the touchscreen issue is definitely fixed to finally swap M9 to G4.
Went again to LG showroom yesterday, I liked the ''gold'' plastic back as it has a much more silver look than the grey one, though I am afraid that paint will go away with time and black plastic appears. The screen is really gorgeous, 5.5'' bright and good colors, the double tap to wake was perfect, no missed touch. The UI is certainly faster than the S6 I had, nearly as fast as my M9 which is the fastest UI phone ever.
Of course the fonts are stupidly small for such a big screen, smaller than on my 5'' M9 screen!
The speaker is very loud while no crackling unlike Note 4, it's louder than S6 and M9.
Unfortunately they don't sell the leather or plastic back alone (for now), personally I would take the Gold (silver) color as I tried it with a sticky pad from my car and it sticked well, while the leather not at all
